XONEY MARKET' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELYE O'CLOCK. The recent failures which followed each other so quickly have rendered discounters extremely can , tious before entering into new engagements. This prudence, if not carried too far, must have a very beneficial effect in weeding from the money market all doubtful paper; and imparting a feeling of ge neral confidence. To-day, therefore, although the number of applicants for monetary assistance has not been very numerous, the brokers have shown their circumspection by not granting too easy faci lities to the general public, who are always ready When the opportunity presents itself to float their paper upon the market. Under these circumstances, firms of high commercial standing find no difficulty in obtaining accommodation upon three months' bills at 81 and 9 per cent, and bankers' acceptances of shorter date have also been negotiable at 81 per cent. A further sum of £37,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The Hecla has arrived from New York with £ll,OOO, From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have been unfavourable. The high rates current for money having in a great measure put a stop to speculative transactions in most kinds of goods. The embarrassment felt in commercial circles has also caused considerable caution on the part of manufacturers. At Leeds, Bradford, and lludderefield prices, however, have been steady, with only a moderate inquiry for winter cloths. At Manchester a considerable decline has taken place in the value of both cloths and yarns, and buyers continue to exercise great reserve. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have remained without change of importance ; while in the hardware districts of Bir■ mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, business has been conducted on a much more limited Beale than is ordinarily the case at this season of the year. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were quoted 65f. 90c.—flat. The Funds are I per cent. lower than they were at the close of business on Saturday. Business is dull, and the few operations entered into produce a depressing influence, since they add to the supplies of stock in the hands of the dealers. The public are not purchasers to any extent; nor in the present situation of affairs, and at this season of the sear, are they likely to afford the market any substantial support.

The country markets held on Saturday were by no means extensively supplied with English wheat. For all quali ties, however, the trade ruled heavy, and prices declined Is per quarter. The barley trade was in a sluggish state, at drooping currencies. Oats were rather cheaper ; and for beans, peas, and flour, the trade was very inactive. Advices from New York report but little inquiry for wheat, flour, and maize for cavort. On the Continent the corn trade generally is dull. But moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 17,606 quarters of wheat, 5,882 barley, 75,322 oats, 185 rye, 1,900 beans, 2,373 peas, 400 tares, 2,055 linseed, 21,632 oilseeds, 1,200 maize, 225 sundry seeds, 201 sacks, and 2,825 barrels of 11 >ur. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were but me derato. Nearly the whole of the produce, however, was received in excellent condition. Although f actors had or ders to purchase wheat. for seed the trade for all qualities of home-grown produce was in a most inactive state, and very little progress could be made with sales. At the close of business only a portion of the supply had been disposed pf, at prices showing a reduction, compared with Monday last, of is per quarter. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably large. Owing to the large number of cargoes off coast, and the high rate of money in the discount market, the trade ruled heavy for all descriptions, and a decline of ls. per quer' or took plaoo in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain moved off heavily, and prices had a downward tendency. There was a fair supply both of English and foreign barley on offer. The trade for malting, grinding, and dis tilling qualities was very inactive, and the prices realised were Is. per quarter lower than on Monday last. The malt trade was dull, and a decline of is per quer tech place in prices. The supply bath of English and foreign mate on sale was very large. There was decidedly less activity in the demand for nearly all descriptions. However, a fair amount of business was transacted, chiefly at a decline in prices of 6d per quarter. In the trade for beans there was lens firmness. New qualities, however, supported previous rates, but old parcels declined in value Is. per quarter CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEABURIS.

Thero was a large supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day. The best beasts, sheep, and calves sold steadily, at full quotations; otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, on lower terms. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts were moderately extensive, but, for the most part, in mid dling condition. From Scotland the receipts were limited, but the supply from Ireland was on the increase. Prime Scots, &0., were in good request, at very full prices ; other wise the trade was heavy, at late rates. The top figures were 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,800 short horns, &c, ; from other parts of England, 900 various breeds; from Scotland, 35 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 450 oxen and heifers. _ There was a full average number of sheep in the pens. Good and prime - breeds were readily disposed of, at the ex treme prices of Monday last. Inferior stock was less active, at, in some instances, a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. A. few very superior Downs sold at 5a 8d per 81ba. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, changed hands slowly, at late rates, viz., from 4s to Os per 81bs. There was an improved sale for pigs, on rather higher terms ; at least a moiety of the beasts and sheep here to-day were beneath the middle quality.

I will not swear the prisoner wore the dark trousers on the Monday or the Tuesday prior to the 9th of July. I first heard of the railway outrage in the weak fol lowing—about Tuesday, to the best of my recollection. I also heard there was a large reward offered for the discovery of the murderer. I never said anything to the police about the murder until two gentlemen came to me. When the prisoner went away, he had nearly a new pair of boots. I know he has had a coa t, b ut I did no t see it. Mr Giffard—How d o you knew h e had a new coat ? Witness—l have h ear d t h e prisoner s ay so. Godfrey Ferdin a nd R epsch said— l s aw prisoner at my house on Saturd a y th e 9th of J u ly. He then wore a morning coat and d ar k trousers —b r own and grey, any colour, every colour. (L aughter.) the Mr Beard—Let that be taken down. Witness—l cannot stay positively; there was brown in the colour I know. I recollect the prisoner coming to my house or the following Monday. He then wore a new hat. I said `•You've got a new hat." My missis also said to him "You are very extravagant to have a new hat on." Prisoner said he had had the hat a couple of months. I told him it was a very good hat. I asked him what it cost, and he told me 14s 6d, and said it was a good hat and worth a guinea. He then wore a single-breasted coat and light trousers. He remained at my house that day till about 1 o'clock, but I saw him every day after until he sailed for America. Mr Giffard—Did you ever see the prisoner in tho dark trousers after the Saturday you s peak of ? Mr Beard—l object to your using the word " dark " trousers, the witness says Mr GLlfard—l don't wi s h to ca ll them dark trousers if you object. Did you ever see th e prisoner in tho trousers Sept. 26, Ihe wore on the 9th of Jul y after tha t da y ? 1864. Witness--No. they were all colours. Cross-examination continued—l know he had some new clothes about two months before the conversation took place about the hat. I can't say I ever saw him again in the trousers he worn on the Saturday. When I had the conver sation with prisoner about the hat I never turned up the lining to see whether there was a name in it, Mr Giffard—What trousers had the prisoner on when you saw him on the Monday ? I cannot tell you Witnese—Light ones. They are not the same he had on on the Saturday. What trousershad he on on the Tuesday ? undertake to The same as he wore on the Monday—light ones: I gwhilblourhood that cannot recollect what he wore on the Wednesday. Jonathan Mathews, the cabman, was here recalled, Eta, in answer to Mr Beard, said—l cannot tell you you please. was than that a swear occupied Nlvyo was ss Saturday,nono not hinenight gthhteo9f Edmonton. t h h a o to f rd J ai u yt l s. y. . 11 ie i night.

Witness—lt was 18 - )0, I think. known the prisoner about two years. Ho worked for Mr Wild, a tailor, in Toolerstreet. Mr Wild is my brother- Eliza Mathews, wife in-law. It was while he was so employed that he first came to our house. 1 recollect his coming to our place on Mon day, the 11th of July, between two and three o'clock. He said he had come direct from Mr Rol:lschia to wish us good bye, previous to going to New York. About 4 o'clock, as the ch ldren were coming from school, I got the tea ready. He made no observation about my husband. Ho said the firm (Mews. Hodgkinson) was going to send him out, and that they were going to pay him £l5O per annum. He said ho should like to have his salary h a i r yearly. He said nothing more than that ho had come to say good bye. I recollect he said ho had met with an accident, and that the firm was paying the doctor during his illness. I paid him 3s. that day for a small parcel of tea he brought me a few weeks previously. my sister, Mrs Mabbs, was present when I paid him. Mr Flower— Was she present during the conversation, or only part of the time. Witness—She came in just as wo had done our tea, so she only heard part of the conversation. Examination continued —Mrs. Mabbs also paid her Is. eid. Prisoner was then wearing a new albcrt chain. Ho took it off and put it into my hand, and asked me what I thought of it. At first I thought it was not a good on e , as t h e go ld was so light. I told him I did not like it as well as his old one, and he replied " The chain is a very ni ce 0n0.,, lie then attached the chain on his waistcoat and put his hand into his pocket; he took out a cardboard box and said " that is the box the chain was in," lie gave it to my little girl. I saw the name of Death on it, and I remarked that he was a good jeweller. My little girl had the box playing with the whole ut the aiteraouri. I also olmerved that he had a ring on his finger with a white cornelian stone, upon which a head was engraved. He held out his hand for mo to look at it, and said his father had cent it him from Ger many. I asked him if it was a family likeness, and he said it was not. He left our house about six in the even ing, and I walked some distance with him towards the om nibus. Prisoner walked slow and lame. I bade him good bye, and the prisoner then said he thought he should come on the following morning to see my husband. The next day, about half-past eight in the morning, my husband trod accidentally upon the little box. He made some observa tion as he picked up the box, and I then put it into a drawer. My husband came homo on the Monday night following, about 10 o'clock at night, and I then gave the box to him. Mr. Flowere—Did prisoner say when he had met with the accident. Witness—Yes. He said he met with the accident on the Monday previous to the Saturday, by a letter-cart ruining over his foot at London Bridge. Cross-examined--I don't know that I owed the prisoner more than three shillings. I can swear that I don't own him any more. I have been married t) Mathews 12 years. John Henry Glass—l reside at 91, Henry-street, Hemp steadt-aa '$ and lam a tailor. lam in the employ of Mr. Hodgkinson. I have known the prisoner about four years. On Thursday the 12th of July ho came to me in the shop, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and asked me if I would buy a watch. He showed me a gold one. He said that he had also got a chain, but that it was in pawn for £l. He told me ho wanted money to go to America, and that was the reason he asked me to purchase the we' ch and chain for £4, because he could then go abroad. I told him to come on the following Wednesday morning, which he did about 9 o'clock. We both went to the pawn broker's and redeemed the chain. It was at a shop kept by a Mr Barker. He afterwards went to Cox's, near Leicester square, and there the watch and chain were pawned by the prisoner for £4. The prisoner actually pawned the things. I took the ticket and he the money. It was pawned in m 3 name. I gave him 5s more for the ticket, so altogether I had advanced £lss, as I had to pay the money to take out the chain. We then parted, prisoner saying he was going to the London Docks to get a ticket for New "fork, and he should come and bid me good-bye before he went ; and he did so the same day about six o'clock in the evening. This was on the Wednesday following the 9th. Mr Gifford, of 4, Queen's-square, Finsbury, assistant to Messrs Grinnell, shipowners—They have an office at the North Quay of the London Dock, I open it about 9 in the morning. I recollect the prisoner coming there on the 13th of July last, about 11 o'clock in the morning. He asked the price of the passage to New York, and I told him LI. He asked when the ship sailed. and I replied to morrow. He then went away. I was on duty at that office on the previous Monday. If any person came to inquire about a passage on that day I should have been sure to see him. Nothing had passed between us relative to the pas sage to,New York before the Wednesday. On that day he returned to our office about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and said, " I've come to pay my fare," and laid down LI, for which I gave a contract ticket. [The contract ticket pro duced is the one I delivered to the prisoner.] After this ho went away, but returned, to the best of my belief, about half-past 3, and brought his luggage. It consisted of three parcels—two large and one small. I took no tice of one—it was done np in canvas—and about 18 inches long and 9 wide. It did not appear to me to contain a hard substance. He had a box, but I did not see it. He asked me to take charge of his parcels, but I refused. Ho then took them away, and I told him he would have to leave them with Smith, the foreman of the docks. The next day the prisoner came to the vessel, the Victoria, and went aboard, and was so when she hauled away. She went into Shadwell Basin that afternoon, and on Friday morning she sailed. I went with her as far as Gravesend. The vessel went right on, with the prisoner on board. By Mr Beard—l am not alway sat the office, sometimes lam on board the ships. There is a Gorman porter in the office who would answer inquiries during my absence. Mr Flower—Were you absent at all on the Monday ? Witness—l might have been called away. Mr Flower—And remained some time, I suppose? Witness—Yes, sir. Thomas Bacon, assistant to Mr Cox, pawnbroker, pro duced a gold watch and chain pawned by the prisoner. [These were identified by the witness Glass as those he purchased.] The articles were pledged for £4. I took them in, but I cannot identify the prisoner as the person who pledged the articles. The watch and chain here spoken of were those belong ing to the prisoner, and not those stolen from the late Mr Briggs. Mr Diganee—l am a hatter, and carry on business at the Royal Exchange. Mr Briggs was a customer of mine, and had been so for five and thirty years. I have made every hat he has worn during that period. I took an order from him in 1863. It was on the 24th of September—the parti culars are entered in my book. The hat was made expressly for him, and sent home a few days after. Mr. Giffard—Will you just look at the hat which has been cut down, "Witness—The hst produced is a bell crowned hat, similar to that I supplied Mr Briggs with in 1863. I have com pared the measurement of the hat with tho figures entered in my book, and it corresponds in every particular. The hat when it was sent home was found to be a trifle too large, and the next day Mr 131 iggs came into the shop, and I pasted a piece of tissue paper underneath the leather inside the hat. I find the piece of paper has been removed, but small fragments of it remain adhering to the hat, which clearly shows there had been tissue paper all round. The hat is now shorter than it was when it left my shop. It hes been cut down from one inch to an inch and a half. It has not been done as a hatter would do it. It is very nicely done by an inexperienced hand. It is now stitched on. It a hatter had had to effect such an alteration he would have used a composition for such a purpose. When a hat is made to order we always put the name of the person for whom it is made inside it, just by the band. The place where I should have placed it in the hat now before me is gone with the part which has beers cut off. Mr William Thorne is the name of the person who actually manufactured the hat. By Mr Beard—lt is not an unusual thing to put tissue paper inside hats. 'When the hat is too large at the side we place tissue paper in that part. I never saw the hat after I put the paper inside until it was shown to me. We sometimes give the old hate left at our shop away. The hat now in my hand is a genuine hat. Mr GiffArd—You have the hat now in your hand ; will you swear that it is the one you made for Mr Briggs. Witness—l will not undertake to swear that if the pieces that has been cut away were here I could then say whether or no. Mr Beard—Or, I suppose, you mean to say it would en able you to speak more positively. W fitness—Yes. Frederick William Thorne—l am a hat manufacturer. I made the hat now put into my hand. It has my private mark inside. I furnished the hat for Mr Diganco. Mr Giffard—ls it in the same state now as when you furnished it. Witness—Certainly not ; it has been cut down. Mr CTiffard—ls the work done as a hatter would do it ? Witness-No; a hatter would have used composition and varnish. Tho shortening of the hat now before me had been sewed round, and not done in any respect like a a workman would effect such an alteration. Mr Flowers—Do you think the sewing is neatly done ? Witness—Yes, sir, I should say it is vet)/ neatly done. Mr Samuel Tituiarsh—l reside at Church-street, Hackney, and am a watchmaker. I know the late Mr Briggs as a cu s t omer f or th e last seven or eight years. The witness here examined the watch handed to him by Inspec tor Tanner with his glass, and immediately afterwards ho said—l now know that this watch was the property of the late Mr Briggs. I had the watch to clean on the Gth of February, 1863, on which occasion I made some figures inside the case which still remain there. Mr Thomas Fishbourne, of Lucas street, Commercial road—l am a ticket colleotor at the Fenchurch-street station of the Blackwall Railway. I attend at the bottom of the stairs leading to the North London Railway trains. I knew the late Mr Briggs by sight. I saw him on Satur day night, the 9th of July, at a quarter to ten. He spoke to me. Mr Giffard—Do you recollect what he said ? Mr Beard—l must object to that, Mr Giffard—lt is immaterial, and therefore I shall not press it. Witness —My attention was o ailed to the outrage on the Sunday afternoon. I then went to Bow with Sergeant Lambert, and from thence to Mr Briggs's house at Hackney. rolice-constable 71 H said—l was on duty in Wick-lane, Bow, on the 9th of July last. I heard a cry of a man on the line. I afterwards saw several persons carry the body of a gentleman to the Mitford Arms. I searched the body. I found the shirt much disordered. There was a black stud in it. There were £4 and some keys in one of the pockets, but I have returned the keys to the bank. In the right hand trousers pocket was 8s in silver, and in the side pocket various ,letters and papers, by which I was enabled to ascertain who he was. The gentleman had a diamond ring on the small finger of the left hand. There was a new sort of watch -fastening on one of the waistcoat button-holes, but as I did not know how to got it out I loft it there. I have measured the 'spot at which the body was found, and I found it is 1,434 yards from Bow station, and 740 from the Hackney Wick station. The entire distance from Bow to Hackney Wick is 1 mile 414 yards. The Court here adjourned for ten minutes. On the reassembling of the Court, Benjamin Haines was called—Ho said, I am a guard on the North London Railway. I was the guard of the train that left Fenchurch-street at 9 50 p.m. on the 9th of July last. The train was five minutes late at starting. The same train goes add returns at that hour. On our return. ing to Hackney in about half a minute after the train had stopped, my attention was called to a first-cfass Carriage near the engine. I got my lamp from the break soon, and when I got back I found the gentleman waiting who had first called my attention to the carriage. When I saw the carriage first the door was open, and I found blood on the near side cushion, and saw blood also trickling down the glass win dow. The handle of the cff side dour had blood on it. The door was fast. I know the haudlo had blood on it, because when I touched it I felt a dampness on my hand, which on getting to the light I found to be blood. I Lund the hat, bag, and walking-stick in the carriage. :1 left them there, locked the carriage up, telegraphed to Chalk Farta, and on arrival there I taw Mr. Greenwood. I pointed out the carriage to him, and gave him possession of the articles. I then proceeded to Bow, whE re the carriage was placed in a shed, where it now remains. It has never been used since. The train on that evening took three minutes and a half to run from Bow to Hackney Wick. Mr Greenwood, station-master at the Chalk Farm station of the North London Railway—On the night of the 9th of July the last witness showed the interior of a first-class carriage of the train of which he was the guard. I took the hat, bag, and walking stick therefrom, and delivered them to the police the next morning. The case was still proceeding when we went to press. THE INQUEST-THIS DAY. This m( ruing Mr Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, resumed the inquiry touching the death of MI Briggs, alleged to have been murdered en the 9;h of July on the North London Railway. Although so early an hour as 8 o'clock was fixed for the commencement of the pro• ceedings, a large crowd assembled outside the Hackney Town-hail, in the hope of catching a glimpse of Muter, who, it had been arranged, would be in attendance fir the purpose ct hearing read over the evidence which had been taken on previous days. The inquest room was densely crowded. Precisely at 8 o'clock Muller was brought into the inquest room in custody of Inspector Tanner. He was brought from the House of Detention in the prison van, and on reaching the Town-hall he was received with lout execra • tions. On entering the inquest room he at once entered into earnest conversation with Mr Beard, his solicitor, on whose application witnesses were ordered out of court. George Blythe said that Muller lodged in his house. He saw him on Saturday, the 9th July. On the following day they walked out together. He wore the dress ho had been in the habit of wearing. He recognised Muller in Court. By Mr Beard—He wore the same clothes on Sunday as he had worn on Saturday. By a Juror—Lie did not know whether he had any change of linen. Mrs Blythe, who was examined on a previous occasion, was recalled, and identified Muller. She said he had six new shirts when he left. Matthews the cabman, Mrs Matthews, Haifa, Sergeant Clarke, Inspector Tanner, and Mr John Death identified Muller as the person to whom they had referred in their evidence. Mr T. Briggs said his father usually wore his necktie in a bow, and at the time of the occurrence he wore a mourning band on his hat. He believed that the hat which had been produced and inspected was his father's. The Coroner said this was the evidence on mhich he should wish the jury to consider their verdict. The inquiry had extended over several days, and possibly some of it might have escaped their recollection. The Coroner then proceeded to read the testimony of the various witnesses, commencing with that of Mr Thomas Briggs, Muller lis tened with marked attention to the evidence, and several times made remarks to Mr Beard on the subject of it. It will be remembered that Mrs Buchanan, the niece of the deceased, said in the course of her evidence that she knew a person who had asked her uncle for a loan, which had been refused. That person had declared he would do her uncle an injury. This evidence seemed particularly to at tract Muller's attention, who evinced much astonishment while it was being read. On arriving at the evidence of Mr Leigh, who stated that he saw two persona in the carriage with the deceased on the night of the murder, that gentleman, at the request of the jury was recalled, and in answer to questions, said he could not identify Muller as one of those persons. A juror suggested that Muller might put on the hat which was found in the carriage. Muller put on the hat and stood up, but Mr Leigh could not identity him. _ _ Mr Beard—Can you describe the two men you saw in the carriage ? Mr Leigh—The man who sat by the side of Mr Briggs appeared to be a tall man with whiskers, but I only saw him for a moment. Mr Beard—Had he dark whiskers ? Mr Leigh—Yes. I think so. (Muller has scarcely any whiskers, and what he has are very light.) Mr Beard—Describe the other man? Mr I,eigh—He was a slighter man with light whiskers. Mr Beard—About what age ? Mr Leigh—l cannot say. In answer to a juryman, Mr Leigh said he could not tell whether the man had dark or light whiskers, or whether he had any whiskers at all, as he only saw him for a moment. Mr and Mrs Repsch were called and identified Muller as the person they had referred to in their evidence. The Coroner having finished the evidence, cautioned Muller in the usual way, and asked him his name and age ? He said his name was Franz Muller, and that he was 24 years of age. The Coroner asked him whether he had anything to say or any questions to put to the witnesses who had been examined Muller—l have nothing to say now. The Coroner said that under those circumstances the pri soner might ba removed from the court. He was then con veyed away in the prison van amidst loud yells from the crowd. When order had been restored, The Coroner then commented upon tho evidence, tracing the deceased from the house at Peckham, where he had dined, until the time he was fonnd on the railway. Adverting to the medical evidence, ho said it was clear that some of the injuries from which Mr Briggs suffered were caused by blows, while others were occasioned by the fall from the carriage, With regard to two persons being in the carriage with Mr Briggs when Mr Leigh saw him, he did not attach much importance to it, as there was ample tine foe either of the persons to get out. He next commented upon the discovery of the hat, the exchange of the chain, &c., at Mr Death's, and the confirmatory et' 'ence which was supplied on Muller's capture by the officers of jut. tico. At the same time, they must remember that Muller had a fortnight previously announced his intention of going to America; but then, again, he had not sufficient money to pay his passage, which accounted for his desire to possess it. Looking at all the circumstances, he thought the jury could not come to any other conclusion than that Mr Briggs died from violence, and it would be for them to say whether the evidence was sufficiant to connect any person with the murder, for it was either a murder or nothing. The jury retired, and, after an absence of 20 minutes, returned and found—" That the deceased died from the effects of great violence administered in a railway carriage 9th of July last, and that Francis e Mullere niisg ht th o o f the pe rson by whom the murder was committed. The jury, while passing their verdict, take this opportunity of expressing their disapprobation a t the present state of railway accommodation as affording facilities for the perpetration of various crimes and offences, and earnestly desire to call the attention of the Home Go vernment to the subject, and to the necessity of enforcing the adoption by railway companies of some more efficient system of protection to life, character, and property." The Coroner then made out his warrantlfor the committal of Muller. Drury-lane Theatre, _ , • On Saturday evening Messrs. Falconer and Chatterton commenced their season with great (vial. During the re cess the interior of the theatre has been re-embellished, and many improvements have been made in the fiont of the house, all of which greatly add to the comfort of the patrons of Old Drury. The joint lessees have engaged a company of unrivalled excellence, embracing the names of Mr Cres wick, Mr H. Marston, Mr Walter Lacy, Miss Helen Faucit (Mrs Theodore Martin), and Mrs Hermann Vtzin, the whole being placed under the direction of Mr Phelps, whose serNices have been scoured for the entire season. The groat success of Shakspere's play of " Henry IV." last season, rendered a novelty for the commencement of the present campaign unnecessary, thus we had a repetition of that play in the opening night, with almost the same cast of characters. The most important alteration was the assump tion of the character of Hotspur by Mr Creswick, in place of Mr 'Walter Montgomery, and without at all deprecating the abilities of Mr Montgomery, we must candidly admit that his successor proved the best suited to the part. It is so long since wo have ,had the pleasure of witnessing Mr Creswick in a part really worthy of his abilities as a genuine actor that it was with real gratification we found his name on the bills on the opening night, and without entering into an elaborate and detailed criticism of his rendering of the fiery Hotspur, we may sum up our praise of the part by briefly saying it was a fine performance. and one which gave general satisfaction. On Mr Phelps's Sir John Falstaff we have already pronounced a very high opinion, and therefore we need only on the present occasion remark that it was marked by all those evidences of deep study which invariably accompany all the characters repre sented by this great artist. The scene in the tavern at Eastcheap was given with more than usual point and ex. eellence ; the audience seemed thoroughly to enter into the spirit of the play, and the applause at its termination was general and enthusiastic. Mr W. Lacy re-appeared as Prince Henry, and met with a very warm reception, while that general favourite, Mr Henry Marston, received the same meek of favour on his appearance as the King. The part of the Daughter of Glendower was sustained by Miss Arabella Smyth; and although she had the dis• agreeable task of singing a Welsh song after pretty little Miss Wynn, she acquitted herself in a manner which was highly satisfactory to the audience. " The Battle of Shrewsbury , ' was given with all its pristine splendour, and the curtain descended amidst the most enthusiastic ap plause. The play was preceded by the capital farce, "Au April Fool," in which Mr G. Belmoro created the u'most merriment, and followed by another entitled "Beauty and the Beast," which introdUced the other members of the company. The house was filled in every part, bar fifes Falconer and Chatterton have every reason to be satisfied with the successful inauguration of their winter season. The first revival of tho season will take place next Sa turday evening, when the second part of " Henry the Fourth" will be performed.

THE MURDER OF MR. BRIGGS. Examination of Muller at Bow Street this Day. The usual crowd assembled in Bow-street this morning to witness the arrival of Muller at the police-court. On the arrival of the prisoner's van at about halt-past 10 the rush towards it was terrific, and on Muller making his appear ance, instead of the hissing and hooting he received on Monday week, he was to-day received with loud cries of " Hurrah, hurrah l" Muller was placed in the dock at a few minutes past 11 before Mr Flower, the sitting magistrate, but it was found that most of the witnesses had not arrived from attending the inquest at Hackney. Mrs Repsch, however, was in attendance, and she was accordingly reexamined by MrGiffard. She said, I recollect having a conversation with the prisoner about his wearing a new hat. He told me he had smashed his old one and thrown it into the dustholo, and that he had had the one then on (the one supposed to belong to the late Mr Briggs) two months. My husband asked him what ho paid for it, and he replied 14s. 6d. My husband said "Why that looks more like a guinea hat." That is all I recollect about the hat. I remember about the end of last year his bringing a hat-box to our house. I cannot recollect whether it was in November or December. He said Mr Mathews had made him a present of the hat. He showed us the hat. The one produced (the hat found in the railway carriage), I believe to be it. It had a stripped lining of white brown and blue with a small black and white edge. I gave a description of the hat to the police before it was shown to me. Mr Flower—You had seen it often, I presume Witness—Yes, sir. Mr Giffard—The prisoner used to put his letters into his hat ? Witness—Yes; he used to place them underneath the lining. Mr Beard (prisoner's attorney)—Save you ever seen him do that ? Witness—Yes. The witness, in continuation, said, when the prisoner showed him the chain, he said he purchased it when he was going to take his passage ticket. He said he had but halt a crown left after paying for the chain and ring. I saw the prisoner on the 9,h of July. To the best of my knowledge he had then a pair of dark trousers on—a green and black mixture. He had had them but a very short time. His coat was merely a plain morning coat. There was nothing peculiar about the collar of it. I think it was of cloth, but I don't distinctly remember. I have seen him wear other coats beside that one. I recollect one with a velvet collar. Mr Beard—When did this conversation take place about the hat ? 1121 102 } 30.. 9 109 81 61} 104/ k 127} 1041 5 Business dont 1001 100 Wa=l;PMMinfm SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day CITY BETTING—Tars DAY.

" THE GREAT WlZARD".—Professor Anderson, so well known throughout the world as the " Wizzrd of the North," continues nightly, at St. James's Hall, to unfold his " World of Magic" to overflowing audiences. His mysterious art is pera fectly astounding ; and, as handkerchiefs are torn up, rings broken, watches transported from ono side of the hall to the other, water turned into wine, and vice versa, the wonder of the beholder is worked up to a pitch impossible to describe. We are glad to see that, with his characteristic liberality, the Professor p'irposes devoting a portion of the Mall every Saturday to the children of the different charity and other schools in London. The boys of the ChAsea Military School, with their unique band, are to have the privilege next Saturday, which will be a great attraction. We have no doubt the little fellows will enjoy greatly the treat in store for them, and will also contribute, in no small degree, with their musical talent, to the delight of the other visitors to the " Magic Hall." Accommodation will, we understand, be provided for about 350 boys and girls; and wo would recommend managers of schools, who wish to take advantage of this very laudable and generous offer, to apply at once to the managing director, Mr. A. Nimmo, who will give all information as to the date and regulation for the reception of each school. LORD BROUGBAM.—Mr Joseph Wilkinson, of Bonscale, Ullswater, a veteran politician, who formerly took great interest in the election contests of Lord Brougham in Westmoreland, has just erected a stone pillar upon the mountain called Halle, in commemoration of the 86th birthday of the noble and venerable peer. The mountain on which the memorial stands commands a beautiful view of the lake of Ullswater and its surroundings. The pillar is 12 feet high, and is conspicuous enough to be seen from Cross Fell with the aid of a glass.
